There are mountains and a lake and tolitude at Camp Low Echo, Lake of the Woods,
where homemakers, members of Klamath County Home Extension Uniis and others gathered August
17-22 for camp recreation and relaxing. Twonty-tv,o women, uppor left, arrived to "get away from it
all," enjoyed the opportunity to hika, swim, boat, gather native cones and boughs and to eat meals
they did not prepare. This is group on steps of a. tractive Beaver Lodge.
The quiet lake, pictured above, light L reeies, cool nights, and fireplace fires added to
enjoyment of those attending camp where books for browsing were furnished by Klamath County Li
brary and members learned how to make cracked marb'o jewelry, taugM by Mrs. louiso Borton,
right. Left is Mrs. R. A. Jameson and center Mrs. Lee Hol'.iday, who with Mrs. Borton arranged
camp plans.
New pine cones, fresh pine and fir
boughs and moss-covered limbs were
gathered to be brought home and
fashioned into decorations. The long
walks on shaded paths where squirrels
and chipmunks chaHered at invaders,
and deer peered from the shadows,
were popular with many of the women.
Animals came into camp frequently.
